It is an object of the invention to provide a durable, simply andcheaply made form of sleeve protector which is always held in asubstantially tubular form so that it may be quickly and easily put onor removed, and which can be promptly adjusted to fit snugly aroundsleeves of varying sizes.

l/Vith these and other objects and advantages in view which will becomeapparent as the specification proceeds the invention is hereinafter morefully described with the aid of the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 shows the invention in position around a coat sleeve, and

Figure 2 is a perspective view of the invention.

Referring to the drawings, 1 designates a flexible member, which mayconsist of fabric or any other suitable material, from one longitudinalmargin 2 of which projecting tabs 3 and a extend, one usually adjacenteither end of the said member. These tabs 3 and 4: are each providedwith a convenso tional snap fastener portion 5, or 6. Ar-

ranged substantially at right angles to the other longitudinal margin '7of the flexible member, and opposite the tabs 3 and 4:, are a pluralityof snap fastener portions 8 and 9 respectively. The fastener portion 5cooperates with any one, of the fastener portions 8, and the fastenerportion 6 with any one of the fastener portions 9, so that the protectormay be so adjusted to lit The reason for this being that it may bedesirable at one time to use a protector over a light rain coat and atanother time over a heavy overcoat having" larger and thicker sleeves,and
